		Research Immunocytochemical studies reveal novel neural structures in nemertean pilidium larvae and provide evidence for incorporation of larval components into the juvenile nervous system Sabine Hindinger, Thomas Schwaha, Andreas Wanninger Frontiers in Zoology 2013, 10:31 (23 May 2013) Abstract \| Provisional PDF
		Research Host response to cuckoo song is predicted by the future risk of brood parasitism Sonia Kleindorfer, Christine Evans, Diane Colombelli-Négrel, Jeremy Robertson, Matteo Griggio, Herbert Hoi Frontiers in Zoology 2013, 10:30 (22 May 2013) Abstract \| Provisional PDF \| PubMed
		Research Only distance matters -- non-choosy females in a poison frog population Ivonne Meuche, Oscar Brusa, K Eduard Linsenmair, Alexander Keller, Heike Pröhl Frontiers in Zoology 2013, 10:29 (20 May 2013) Abstract \| Provisional PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Females in a studied population of strawberry poison dart frogs select mates purely based on distance. In a lek-based mating system, males compete for females attention through vocalizations. However, in the studied population, females are not attracted by the quality of the call, instead they opt for the closest male regardless of presumed heritable traits or parenting skills.

		Research More ornamented females produce higher-quality offspring in a socially monogamous bird: an experimental study in the great tit (Parus major) Vladimír Remeš, Beata Matysioková Frontiers in Zoology 2013, 10:14 (25 March 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| ePUB \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary In a cross-fostering experiment, newly hatched broods were removed from their genetic mothers’ nests and swapped with another female’s brood.The colourations and patterns on a female great tit’s (Parus major) plumage indicates the ability to produce healthier offspring; the black stripe across her breast and white patches on her cheeks correlate to a chick’s weight at two weeks and immune strength respectively.
